Once again, it was not even close, with 38% saying Logan Circle, followed by Dupont Circle with 13% and 9% for U Street and 9% for Shaw.Īctually, the choice of “Everywhere and Nowhere” finished second with 18% of survey respondents - probably one more sign that members of the LGBT community are spreading out further across the city. Last week we asked Borderstan readers, “Where’s the Gay Neighborhood in DC”, and for the third consecutive year Logan Circle was the winner.

Like last December, we will provide you with a list of the most-read stories on Borderstan by category. It’s that time again… a look back before we start 2013. 3 on the list: The June 7 fire at 14th and P Streets NW. Here’s how Borderstan voters responded the past three years. Today 17th Street is still generally recognized as DC’s “gay Main Street” - and only a few blocks from the Logan Circle neighborhood. But, overall, is the Logan Circle area the new Dupont Circle when it comes to all things gay? Last year 38% in 2012 said Logan Circle was the city’s primary gay neighborhood, with “Everywhere and Nowhere” in second place, and Dupont Circle in third place - with Shaw making big gains each year. (Results of previous reader polls are below.) In the 2010, 20 Borderstan reader polls, the top choice of readers was Logan Circle.

Here’s how Borderstan voters responded, with results for earlier years shown for comparison. The number of readers who chose those two options this year, 30%, was up from 26% in 2012.ĭupont Circle, once the center of DC’s LGBT community, has gotten almost exactly the same results in the last three years - 13% in 2012, 12% in 2011 and 14% in 2010. A variety of neighborhoods were listed, with Capitol Hill being the most popular write-in choice. The number of readers selecting Other jumped to 6% this year. The choice of “Everywhere and Nowhere” actually finished second again this year with 22% of survey respondents. “This is such a 1970s question” got 8% of the votes - you have to figure there is a tie-in to the “Everywhere and Nowhere” attitude of an increasing number of both DC’s gay and non-gay community. While Dupont Circle was once considered DC’s official gay neighborhood, the percentage of readers declined from 13% last year.
